Gmail will be the most used website, or webapp and we always wait patiently wait for it to load, we understand the pain it takes to load all our emails chats and attachments right ?
You said Yes ?
Really ?
I thought so, gmail is loading slower these days with all the new features and extensions added to it and if you have offline gmail enabled, it will take much longer for gmail to load. Well, Google also knows this patience test that we go through every time we open gmail and they are working on a 1 second to inbox startup solution.
Google is planning to do this with the latest HTML5 technology which is gaining popularity these days. ( Apple, iPhone, Flash is evil – got the puzzle ? )
Thanks to HTML5, we will soon have advanced features on more webapps, and gmail will be on of the best platforms for HTML5 to show its strength.
UK-based start up called Rapportive has created an awesome Extension for Both Firefox and Google Chrome, which replaces the advertisement space in Gmail inbox with social media profile of the user whom you are interacting with, on that email.
Do you think Google Will Buy This Company ?
1. This is an awesome service which will see thousands of followers in coming days.
2. Even though ads inside gmail inbox is not Google’s revenue system, Google will not be happy about users removing ads with the help of a simple extension. They will buy this company, and include this service in gmail without hurting their income source.
Seriously guys, this is not a joke. There is a new keyboard in the market, with 19 keys, only for gmail ! and it looks beautiful too !
Gmail Keyboard
This keyboard makes use of gmail keyboard shortcuts, and gives you dedicated keys for each functions that you do inside your gmail inbox. Now it works like this, see the video.
Staying online and reading books, that’s the new technique that I am testing.Why ?
I tried several times to stay offline to read more books. But, twitter, blogs, google reader, comments, chats, orkut, facebook, oh no !! I leave the book there and come back, every time. Do you think I am addicted to blogging or internet in general ? well, I think so .. and I have started missing books.
I started using internet only a few years back. My first internet experience was creating an email address on Yahoo! Mail. Those were the days before Gmail …. when Yahoo! used to be the star
… Now, things have changed and most of us use gmail and other google services … still …. Flickr makes us stick to Yahoo!, and we all love flickr.
I have started spending more time on flickr these days, with uploading, and editing pictures, socializing, and making new friends etc … and I started thinking if there was any other Yahoo! service that I still use … hmmm Yahoo Messenger at times, I guess .. other than that, Yahoo! is completely out of my online life.
Yes, here is a cool feature that you would love to add to your blog. A small badge from Gtalk, on your sidebar, and user visitors can start talking to you with a simple click, without sharing your gmail ID or their email ID.
To create one badge for you, you just need to copy paste the code from here
“Visitors will then see a badge on your site indicating your availability, and can click to start a chat with you. If there’s a time when you don’t want to be distracted, just set your online status to “busy” and visitors won’t be able to chat with you until you change your status back to “available.”
Update- If you set your status to “busy” on chat, the gtalk link will be disabled. ( Visitors will not be able to request chat )
If you believe, then just click on “talk to me” on my sidebar, and LET’S TALK !!
Now you can upload up to 1000 photos on orkut. They started with 12 made it hundred few months back and now its 1000. If you are using IE, you have an option to add multiple photos together. Read instructions here
